pop along to dick turpin on a wedns or monthly meet id you need advice matey.

I already had this discussion with a few other people.

The Supra weights 1542 kg at the heaviest. Minus driver 620bhp at the flywheel = 570bhp at the hub, So the power to weight ratio is around 426 bhp per ton

I am not sure if it is just me. I have given passenger rides to family, friends and they all say its fast enough and I beaten a GTR on the road (friends GT-R)

But I still don't think its enough

I don't really get out much to be honest, I have two jobs. If I can attend meets its very few and far. But I am hoping to make it for this club meet at the end of the month to say hello in person.

Mine is 390 bhp per tonne.In terms of accelaration im used to it.so get roughly what you mean.But id look at losing weight first matey..1 its cheaper, and most importantly engine and components will be under less stress with less weight.

I didn't want to lose too much of the luxury side of the car I have custom lightweight pulleys (AUX, steering and etc)

Well powerband helps with acceleration.Usually tourque curve is next..My guess is another 100bhp in the same weight car wont feel a lot faster.Be quicker no doubt but its got weight to pull..To put into context every say 50bhp u gain is like 15 for me as i weigh less.

I know what your saying, but you just used a 200bhp example.lolSeriously not tryin rock the apple cart, but your used to that power, and you want more because a mate of yours is 900 or whatever you think you can faster, but theirs alot more then chasing numbers..is this going to be a drag motor like daves?

Kinda awnsered it there buddy..To me it seems your not maximising the enjoyment of the car..If u did north weald a lot and santa pod drag days then maybe then the enjoyment side will come back.Because on the road you will never use the full potential or power of the car and that maybe and even greater dissapointment.

I did do Santa pod last year before the build. I only just got it back from the mapper last week, I have been thinking about taking it to North Weald and give it another run.

Drive it do a few runs..Sure once u enjoy that your never be like i need this and that..You will know what you need..Pop along to next weeks monthly meet more then welcome to advise etc..Done it too most peoples motors on here
